Equipment

  • oven
  • mixing bowl
  • Baking dish

Ingredients
  

Potatoes

  • 750 g baby potatoes halved (about 3.5cm / 1.75″, 20 – 24 potatoes)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil plus more for drizzling

Parmesan Mixture

  • ½ cup grated parmesan the sand-like type
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder or sub with onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt I use table salt, leave out to lower sodium
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Dipping Sauce (Optional)

  • ¾ cup sour cream or sub with plain yoghurt, or a combination of both
  • ¼ cup finely chopped green onions/scallions plus more for garnish (or chives)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200C/400F (180C fan-forced).
  • Mix Parmesan Mixture in a bowl.
  • Drizzle oil in 22 x 33cm / 9 x 13″ glass baking dish. Tilt pan to spread all over the base.
  • Use a spoon to scatter the Parmesan Mixture over the base. Spread as evenly as you can. Once sprinkled, do not touch – don’t try to spread it.
  • Place potatoes cut side down, pressing firmly.
  • Optional: drizzle top of potatoes with a touch of oil or spray with oil, then sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake potatoes for 35 – 40 minutes or until they are soft and the parmesan crust is deep golden (you can check through the glass!).
  • REST for 5 minutes. Then use an egg flip to cut between every 4 or so potatoes (i.e. cutting through the parmesan crust which bonds between each potato).
  • Scoop up 4 or so potatoes and flip them upside down so the cheese side is up on a serving platter.
  • Serve with Dipping Sauce, if using, and sprinkle over extra green onions if desired.

Notes

Use grated parmesan that has a sand-like consistency for the best results. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to regain crispiness.
